Surrounding vegetation <br />consists of pinyon, juniper, and cottonwood. <br />Site is completely destroyed of all contexual <br />relationships due to past cultivation of <br />the site area in wheat and alfalfa. Only <br />a sparse scattering of chipped and ground <br />stone artifacts remains on the site. No <br />features were observed. <br />50 m N/S X 300 m E/W <br />Site 5MN1258 has been completely des- <br />troyed through unknown years of farming <br />and ranching activities. Only four <br />artifacts were observed, but it is most <br />likely that the original artifact assemblage <br />was much like the 56 artifacts recorded <br />for 5MN1257. <br />Four artifacts were observed: One white <br />sandstone metate fragment, a ground stone <br />fragment, one interior basalt flake <br />and one interior chert flake. <br />None <br />Not recommended to be eligible <br />10 <br />APR 9 1980 <br />
